President Donald Trump sparred with CNN’s anchor Kaitlan Collins over the effectiveness of his attacks on Iran during a heated back-and-forth at the NATO summit.
Even before Collins could get to ask her question, Trump slammed the network that claimed Trump’s airstrikes did not destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities.
“Oh, fake news CNN? Ay yai yai. Here we go. Wait till you hear this question. You should really say how great our soldiers and our warriors are,” Trump said.
“I think everyone appreciates our soldiers and our warriors,” the 33-year-old anchor responded.
Collins then asked: “You just cited Israeli intelligence on these attacks. Earlier you said US intelligence was inconclusive. Are you relying on Israeli intelligence for your assessment of the impact of the strikes?”
“No, this is also – Iran made the statement. And it’s also – if you read the document that was given – that Pete can talk about if you like – the document said it could be very severe damage. But they didn’t take that,” Trump retorted.
